Her parents reportedly wrote to President Obama, pleading for a prisoner swap. The U.S. military raided a compound where she was believed to be held captive — but wasn’t. A man pretending to be her husband reportedly went to a prison and demanded her release — but she wasn’t in on the plan and told militants she wasn’t married, an Arizona congressman claims.

Although it’s still not clear exactly how or when, 26-year-old aid worker Kayla Mueller was killed while in captivity, U.S. officials confirmed Tuesday. The Islamic State blames a Jordanian airstrike in Syria, but U.S. and Jordanian officials question that claim. Still, another American hostage is dead despite numerous efforts to save her life.

“I don’t think it’s accurate to say the United States government hasn’t done everything we could,” President Obama told BuzzFeed in an exclusive interview Tuesday.

“We devoted enormous resources, and have always devoted enormous resources, to freeing captives or hostages anywhere in the world.”

Attempts by Mueller’s family to free her came to nothing. Months after Mueller was kidnapped, the Islamic State contacted her parents, Carl and Marsha Mueller, saying they had taken the young woman hostage. They provided proof she was still alive in May. Her parents looked for help in Arizona — namely, from Sen. John McCain (R) and Rep. Paul A. Gosar (R), a congressman in their hometown of Prescott, some 90 miles from Phoenix.

McCain met with Massoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the emir of Qatar. He tapped sources at the Syrian National Council and the Free Syrian Army, the Arizona Republic reported. Gosar worked angles as well.

nothing to do with Mueller case

“All of these leaders and intelligence people pledged to me they were doing everything they could,” McCain told the newspaper. “Some few details did emerge from these sources, but obviously not enough.”

A major rescue effort came during Fourth of July weekend last year. The U.S. military raided an oil refinery near Raqqa in Syria, hoping to find James Foley, Mueller and other American hostages. But the hostages had been moved, and the soldiers returned empty-handed. The next month, Foley was beheaded.

“I deployed an entire operation — at significant risk — to rescue not only her but the other individuals who had been held, and probably missed them by a day or two, precisely because we had that commitment,” Obama told BuzzFeed.

An unnamed military official told the Wall Street Journal that, after the failed rescue mission, Mueller’s family members told the U.S. government and U.S. military they didn’t want another risky rescue attempt. However, a family representative denied those claims, saying they just wanted to be told before it happened.

“The family did not make that request to the White House,” an unnamed individual speaking for the family told Politico. “They just wanted to be notified beforehand if there was a plan to go in.”

At the time of Mueller’s death, Pentagon officials told Politico, there were no active plans in place for another rescue mission.

Mueller’s family did, however, write a letter to Obama requesting a prisoner exchange, Gosar said. The family was told negotiations had begun to trade Mueller for Aafia Siddiqui, the woman dubbed “Lady al-Qaeda.” Siddiqui, a 42-year-old neuroscientist trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was convicted of attempting to kill U.S. soldiers. The Islamic State already attempted to negotiate her release in exchange for Foley and American journalist Steven Sotloff, according to Politico. An Islamic State video showing Sotloff’s murder was released in September.

A spokesman for the family could not confirm the parents’ request to the Arizona Republic. Gosar’s spokesman told Politico that another negotiation, perhaps a second one, involved cash, though the specifics are not known.

The Islamic State had also demanded a multimillion-dollar ransom for Mueller. An unnamed person involved in those negotiations told the Wall Street Journal that the terrorists wanted $6.6 million. Gosar said it was $5 million. But the U.S. government refuses to pay ransoms. “The one thing that we have held to is a policy of not paying ransoms with an organization like ISIL,” Obama told Buzzfeed, using an acronym for the Islamic State. “And the reason is once we start doing that, not only are we financing their slaughter of innocent people and strengthening their organization, but we’re actually making Americans even greater targets for future kidnappings.”

After 18 long months, Mueller’s family lost its fight this week. “I feel in a way that I’ve failed them,” McCain said.

Still, Mueller’s family said Tuesday in a statement they are “proud of the person Kayla was and the work that she did while she was here with us.”

“Kayla was a compassionate and devoted humanitarian,” it said. “She dedicated the whole of her young life to helping those in need of freedom, justice, and peace. … She lived with purpose, and we will work every day to honor her legacy.”

We have already discussed in the first part of this analysis how the American geography dooms whoever controls the territory to being a global power, but there are a number of other outcomes that shape what that power will be like. The first and most critical is the impact of that geography on the American mindset.
